Oklahoma is historically a red state which has consistently voted Republican since the 1950's.  It is rarely a visit on important campaign stops although the state has a Democrat for a governor and a much larger number of registered members of the Democratic party than the Republican.  In both 2004 and 2000 the voters of Oklahoma overwhelmingly supported the Republican candidate for president George Bush and in both the 1996 and 1992 presidential vote the citizens of Oklahoma supported Bob Dole and George Bush Sr. respectively.  It is unlikely that the historical tradition in Oklahoma of voting Republican will be undergoing any changes in the near future.
